Subject: [PATCH] Teach receive-pack how to keep pack files when unpacklooseobjects = 0.

From: Shawn Pearce <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:36:15 -0500

Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects should
be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack to decide
if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin --fix-thin
based on the setting of receive.unpackLooseObjects.

If receive.unpackLooseObjects is true (which it is by default for
now) then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.

If it is false then we call index-pack and ask it to include our
pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it easier to identify
why a given pack has been kept in the repository.

Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack.  We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small.  Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated.  That is being left as room for future improvement.
